How can I change the mouse cursor in Javascript or in jQuery ? I know it's a very classic question, but very strangely this JSFiddle doesn't work : http://jsfiddle.net/2Qffw/.
Here is the code :
$('body').css('cursor','pointer');
document.body.style.cursor = "pointer";

Before we start, you need to know that it's not actually possible to move the mouse pointer to a position using Javascript, such functionality can we easily misused but we can simulate something similar.
To change the mouse cursor when you hover over a specific element, you need to assign the cursor CSS property to your HTML element. You will see the cursor changes when you hover over the <h1> element above. It's as if you're hovering over a <button> element.
You can define a custom cursor using the CSS cursor property. The cursor property takes the comma-separated list of user-defined cursors value followed by the generic cursor. First of all create cursor image and save it with the extension .
Do it in both html and body:
$('html,body').css('cursor','crosshair');

It does work, but you had an empty body.
